After being attacked by a coyote, Gamja was rushed to our ER department. On examination, he had only sustained superficial wounds which were cleaned and bandaged. He was discharged with pain medication, antibiotics, and lots of well wishes from our staff. This little guy was very lucky since coyote attacks occur commonly in the southern California area and can sometimes be fatal. ... See MoreSee Less

This new law, which is now in effect, will save countless homeless pets. We can only hope to see more change such as this and for more states to follow our California lead so we can put an end to puppy mill cruelty and promote the adoption of rescue animals. ow.ly/fQML30naqsS ... See MoreSee Less

Pet stores are not all that careful about the people they sell to - cats and dogs could end up as dog-fight bait. I'd rather go directly to a shelter or the Humane Society. But this is still a step in the right direction....

But unfortunately opens up the door for "Retail Rescue" where the "Rescues" come from the very type of places they were trying to prevent. So now there is an endless stream of puppies (Retail Rescue) that come from unregulated facilities which is worse.

Well done California!!!

Testimonials

Our 13.5 year old Lab, Kealy, could not have been in better hands. She not only survived liver surgery for a ruptured abscess and septicemia, she has fully recovered and is doing GREAT!

All of the VSH staff was terrific, but a special shout out to her many veterinarians and technicians who stayed by her side 24/7 for a week nursing her back to health. We could not have asked for more, and are grateful everyday.

In July of 2014 Chloe unfortunately had a bad reaction to a vaccine and all four legs went lame. After about 3 weeks of seeing another Veterinary office, we decided to bring Chloe to Veterinary Specialty Hospital because she was not doing better.

After numerous tests, blood panels, and the wonderful direction of Dr. Steve Hill with medications, I am happy to report Chloe is now walking and RUNNING. All of her adult friends at the park are amazed to see her condition today. It has been almost a year and I am so happy to have had the guidance of Dr. Steve Hill. I never thought Chloe was going to be able to walk/run again but she is. I would like to give you a heartfelt THANK YOU for all you did for Chloe. You’re the best!

My wife and I brought Oscar, our injured French bulldog, in for an emergency consult. He had injured his spine and was rapidly losing feeling and movement.

Dr. Delamaide and Whitney got us in quickly, explained the injury, the prognosis, and the surgery. We handed Oscar off, not knowing if we would ever see him again.

Fast forward two months, after a very difficult surgery and what seemed an impossible rehab, Oscar has resumed walking, playing, and is just about his old self again. He still has some improvements to make but he is well on the way.

Just wanted to thank you all for giving our family member a chance. We can’t thank you enough.
